SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 22, 2025, based on timely requests for review, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty Order on
xanthan gum from the People’s Republic of China (China).1 On August 25, 2025, CP Kelco
Shandong timely withdrew its request for review.2 On February 20, 2026, Commerce selected
Deosen Biochemical (Ordos) Ltd. (Deosen Ordos) and Neimenggu Fufeng Biotechnologies Co.,
Ltd. (aka Inner Mongolia Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd.), Shandong Fufeng Fermentation
Co., Ltd./Xinjiang Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd. (collectively, Fufeng) as the mandatory
respondents in this review.3 On March 9, 2026, Commerce issued an Intent to Rescind
memorandum and invited parties to comment.4 No parties commented on the Intent to Rescind
Memorandum.
Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown, on November 14,
2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by 47 days.5 Additionally,
due to a backlog of documents that were electronically filed via Enforcement and Compliance's
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS) during
the Federal Government shutdown, on November 24, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in
administrative proceedings by an additional 21 days.6 On April 15, 2026, we extended the
preliminary results of this review to September 30, 2026.7 On September 25, 2026, we extended
the preliminary results of this review to no later than October 7, 2026.8

For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this review, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.9 A list of the topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is attached as an Appendix to this notice. The Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and
Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System
(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a
complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at
https://access.trade.gov/frnotices.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the scope of this Order is xanthan gum from China. For a
complete description of the scope of the Order, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Rescission of Administrative Review, in Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in
whole or in part, if a party who requested a review withdraws its request within 90 days of the
date of publication of notice of initiation. As noted above, the following company timely
withdrew their review request and no other party requested an administrative review of this
company: CP Kelco Shandong. Therefore, we are rescinding this administrative review with
respect to this company, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce’s practice to rescind an administrative
review of an antidumping duty order where it concludes that there were no suspended entries of
subject merchandise during the POR.10 Normally, upon completion of an administrative review,
the suspended entries are liquidated at the antidumping duty assessment rate for the review
period.11 Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable,

Antidumping Duty Order of Xanthan Gum from the People’s Republic of China; 2024-2025,” dated concurrently
with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum).
10 See, e.g., Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to Length Plate from the Federal Republic of Germany: Recission
of Antidumping Administrative Review; 2020-2021, 88 FR 4154 (January 24, 2023).
11 See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).

suspended entry that Commerce can instruct CBP to liquidate at the calculated antidumping duty
assessment rate for the review period.12 Commerce notified all interested parties of its intent to
rescind the instant review regarding the companies listed below because there were no
reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise from these companies during the POR and
invited interested parties to comment.13 Based on our analysis of CBP information and the noshipment certifications submitted by Deosen Biochemical Ltd., Jilin Meihua Amino Acid Co.,
Ltd, Meihua Hong Kong,14 Commerce preliminarily determines that these companies had no
shipments of subject merchandise during the POR.
In the absence of any suspended entries of subject merchandise from these companies
during the POR, we are rescinding this administrative review for the companies listed above, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Because China is a non-market economy country
within the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, we calculated normal value in accordance with
section 773(c) of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying our preliminary
results, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

12 See, e.g., Shanghai Sunbeauty Trading Co. v. United States, 380 F.Supp.3d 1328, 1337 (CIT 2019), at 12

(referring to section 751(a) of the Act, the U.S. Court of International Trade held that “{w}hile the statute does not
explicitly require that an entry be suspended as a prerequisite for establishing entitlement to a review, it does
explicitly state the determined rate will be used as the liquidation rate for the reviewed entries. This result can only
obtain if the liquidation of entries has been suspended”; see also Certain Frozen Fish Fillets from the Socialist
Republic of Vietnam: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Final Determination of No
Shipments; 2018-2019, 86 FR 36102 (July 8, 2021), and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum at
Comment 4; and Solid Fertilizer Grade Ammonium Nitrate from the Russian Federation: Notice of Rescission of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 77 FR 65532 (October 29, 2012) (noting that “for an administrative
review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable, suspended entry to be liquidated at the newly calculated
assessment rate”).

Langfang Meihua Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and Xinjiang Meihua Amino Acid Co., Ltd.; see also Xanthan Gum from
the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, and

Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2018–2019, 86 FR 16189 (March 26, 2021), and

Separate Rates
We preliminarily determine that, in addition to Deosen Ordos and Fufeng, one company
not individually examined is eligible for separate rate in this administrative review, Jianlong
Biotechnology Co. Ltd. (Jianlong).15 The Act does not address the establishment of a separate
rate for non-examined companies when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative
review covering a nonmarket economy pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. However,
Commerce’s regulation at 19 CFR 351.109(g) states that Commerce will determine the separate
rate by following the process set forth in 19 CFR 351.109(f)(1)–(2), which generally parallels the
process for determining the all-others rate in an investigation under section 735(c)(5) of the Act.
Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.109(f) state that for non-examined companies,
in general, we will determine an all-others rate by weight averaging the estimated weighted
average dumping margins established for each of the individually examined companies,
excluding zero and de minimis rates or any rates based entirely on facts available. Accordingly,
to determine the rate for non-examined separate rate companies, Commerce’s practice is to
weight average the weighted-average dumping margins for the selected mandatory respondents,
excluding rates that are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available.
For the preliminary results of this administrative review, we calculated rates for Deosen
Ordos and Fufeng that are not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available. Therefore,
the rates of Deosen Ordos and Fufeng are applicable to Jianlong, the company not selected for
individual examination but eligible for a separate rate. Accordingly, for the preliminary results,
we are assigning to Jianlong an estimated weighted-average dumping margin based on the
average of the two individually examined respondents’ rates weighted by their publicly available
ranged U.S. sales values.16

15 See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at the “Separate Rate Determinations” section for more details.
16 See Memorandum, “Preliminary Separate Rate for Respondents Not Selected for Individual Examination,” dated

concurrently with this memorandum.

The China-wide Entity
Commerce’s policy regarding conditional review of the China-wide entity applies to this
administrative review.17 Under this policy, the China-wide entity will not be under review unless
a party specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the entity. Because no party
requested a review of the China-wide entity, the entity is not under review, and the entity’s rate
(i.e., 154.07 percent)18 is not subject to change.
Preliminary Results of Review
Commerce preliminarily determines that the following weighted-average dumping
margins exist for the period July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025:
Exporter

Weighted-Average
Dumping Margin (percent)
70.21

Disclosure

Commerce intends to disclose its calculations performed to interested parties for these
preliminary results within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public
announcement, within five days of the date of publication of this notice in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(b).

Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
18 See Order, 78 FR at 43144.
19 Commerce continues to find that Neimenggu Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd. (aka Inner Mongolia Fufeng
Biotechnologies Co., Ltd.), Shandong Fufeng Fermentation Co., Ltd., and Xinjiang Fufeng Biotechnologies Co.,
Ltd. are a single entity. See Xanthan Gum from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review and Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 2013-2014,80 FR 47464 (August 7,
2015), and accompanying PDM at 6, unchanged in Xanthan Gum from the People's Republic of China: Final
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2013-2014,82 FR 11428 (February 23, 2017).

Public Comment
Case briefs or other written comments may be submitted to the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii), we have modified the
deadline for interested parties to submit case briefs to Commerce to no later than 21 days after
the date of the publication of this notice.20 Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the case
briefs, may be filed not later than five days after the date for filing case briefs.21 Interested
parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding must submit: (1) a table of
contents listing each issue; and (2) a table of authorities.22
As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2)(iii) and (d)(2)(iii), we request that interested
parties provide at the beginning of their briefs a public executive summary for each issue raised
in their briefs.23 Further, we request that interested parties limit their public, executive summary
of each issue to no more than 450 words, not including citations. We intend to use the public,
executive summaries as the basis of the comment summaries included in the issues and decision
memorandum that will accompany the final results in this administrative review. We request
that interested parties include footnotes for relevant citations in the public, executive summary of
each issue. Note that Commerce has amended certain of its requirements pertaining to the
service of documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).24
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to request a hearing must
submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed
electronically via ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice. Requests should contain: (1) the party’s name, address, and telephone
number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of issues to be discussed. Oral

20 See 19 CFR 351.309.
21 See 19 CFR 351.309(d); see also Administrative Protective Order, Service, and Other Procedures in Antidumping

and Countervailing Duty Proceedings, 88 FR 67069, 67077 (September 29, 2023) (APO and Service Procedures).
22 See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
23 We use the term “issue” here to describe an argument that Commerce would normally address in a comment of
the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
24 See APO and Service Procedures.

presentations at the hearing will be limited to issues raised in the briefs. If a request for a hearing
is made, Commerce will inform parties of the scheduled date for the hearing.25
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce will
determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review.
If Deosen Ordos and Fufeng’s weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent) in the final results of this review, Commerce intends to
calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for each importer’s examined sales to the total entered value of those sales.
Where we do not have entered values for all U.S. sales to a particular importer, we will calculate
an importer-specific, per-unit assessment rate on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the importer’s examined sales to the total quantity of those sales.26 To
determine whether an importer-specific, per-unit assessment rate is de minimis, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we also will calculate an importer-specific ad valorem ratio based
on estimated entered values. If Deosen Ordos and Fufeng’s weighted-average dumping margin
is zero or de minimis or where an importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping
duties.27
For the respondents that were not selected for individual examination in this
administrative review but qualified for a separate rate, the assessment rate will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margins calculated for the mandatory respondents consistent with

25 See 19 CFR 351.310(d).
26 See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
27 See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2); see also Antidumping Proceeding:

Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping
Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February
14, 2012).

section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act. Consequently, the rate established for the non-individually
examined companies is an ad valorem rate of 56.21 percent.
For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales database submitted by the mandatory
respondents during this review, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the
China-wide rate.
For the companies listed above for which the review is being rescinded, Commerce will
instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Antidumping duties shall
be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit rate for estimated antidumping duties required at the
time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue rescission instructions to CBP no earlier than 35
days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
The final results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties
on entries of merchandise covered by the final results of this review and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.
If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment
instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a
request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the final
results of this administrative review for shipments of the subject merchandise from China
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided by sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for the companies listed above, which have a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be that established in the final results of this review
(except, if the rate is zero or de minimis, then zero cash deposit will be required); (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not listed above that
received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue

to be the existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for all Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that
have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the existing rate
for the China-wide entity of 154.07 percent; and (4) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce’s presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results of review in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4) and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(4).
